Grant Williams earned quite a comparison by Kendrick Perkins.
Perkins joined NBC Sports Boston on Wednesday to serve as a guest analyst during the broadcast as the Celtics picked up a 109-103 over the Dallas Mavericks.
Williams logged 24 minutes in the contest, recording seven points and two rebounds as he hit just his second 3-pointer of the season after missing his first 24 attempts.
His play earned praise from many watching the game as he was active defensively and made the hustle plays that coaches love. He often serves as a spark plug for the team off the bench, and Wednesday was no different.
Given the similarities in playing style, Perkins compared Williams to Glen “Big Baby” Davis, before he took an apparent shot at his former Celtics teammate.
Don’t let them little smiles fool you outside the court, Grant is a killer. He smiles and talking, he kinda reminds me of Big Baby without the six personalities.

Williams has become a fan favorite in Boston given his outgoing personality and ability on the court. He has played sporadically this season, though, averaging just 2.3 points and 2.2 rebounds in 23 appearances.
We’re definitely here for more games with Perkins on the call…
